Configuring an EXA multi-node system
Note: The EXA scalability feature is only supported on memory expansion
modules that contain the Intel 7510 Scalable Memory Buffer.
This feature requires scalability cables and firmware that supports Enterprise
X-Architecture (EXA) scalability from one memory expansion module to another
memory expansion module. In a 2-node EXA scaled configuration, each memory
expansion module is connected to an x3850 X5 or x3950 X5 server and the memory
expansion modules are connected to each other with the EXA scalability cables.
(See the documentation that came with the EXA cables for detailed installation
instructions.)
